Plot
Londongrad is a special agency which solves any problems that Russian people might face in the capital of the United Kingdom for a hefty fee; starting from ordinary tourists who lost their luggage, to the children of major officials arrested for mixing up the Winston Churchill monument with a public toilet. The owner and only employee of the agency is 27 year old Misha Kulikov (Nikita Yefremov), a mathematics genius and former Oxford student who dropped out five years ago and now takes up any orders as a kind of "fixer".

Ratings
The series premiered successfully on the STS channel. The first episode of Londongrad was watched by every fifth Moscow resident. The project, according to TNS Russia, became the leader in its slot in Moscow among all TV channels, with a share of 20.9% in the audience of 10-45 and a share of 27.5% among viewers aged 11 to 34. In the category of viewers older than four years old, the first season started with a rating of 2.5 and a share of 8.7, by the beginning of the second season the rating had dropped to 1.7, and the share had dropped to 5.4, after which the series ceased to be in the top 10 programs of STS. The reason for the decreased viewer interest was that the ruble dropped after the first season (1-16 episodes) and for financial reasons the rest of the episodes were no longer shot on location.
